But now, she is self-employed and is attempting to earn a living through social media. In one of her recent clips, she filmed herself preparing her partner's lunch, as she said: 'I charge my partner £10 a day to make his lunch for work.' Following this, she added: 'If he's gonna go and spend £10 at McDonald's, Greggs, wherever it may be, and put money in a stranger's pocket, why not put money in my pocket instead?' Rae recognised that not everyone will agree, but she isn't bothered, as she continued: 'It does seem to be a bit of a controversial topic, but it makes sense to me. 'Let's be honest, nothing in life comes free anymore, not even a paper bag - so if you're happy to go and pay the woman in Greggs for your lunch, then pay the woman that you love for your lunch, that way everyone's happy.' Not only this, but she also set the record straight and confirmed: 'He's fed and happy, and I'm paid and happy.' For Rae's partner's most recent lunch, she made him a peri peri chicken salad, which she served alongside cheesy coleslaw and two boiled eggs. She also gave her 'fuss pot' partner a cereal bar, a chocolate bar and two cans of Tango. Later in the clip, Rae confirmed that her man 'approved' of his packed lunch.
